Your honor - he stole the plane because all he wanted was some Gatorade

Here's the first four paragraphs of the story. Those crazy Canadiens, don't they have Gatorade north of the border?

(CNN) -- The chase began with a stolen plane from a Canadian flight school, meandered through three states with U.S. fighter jets hot on the trail and forced the evacuation of the state capitol in Wisconsin.

It ended about seven hours later, in a Midwestern town of 360 people, inside a general store off a narrow, dirt road -- with the suspect sipping on a Gatorade, waiting to be cuffed.

"He just came in, got a Gatorade, tried to get a beef jerky, didn't have enough money, went over and sat down and just kind of watched people come and go," said Tammy Bailey of Simmons Grocery & Hardware in Ellsinore in southern Missouri.

That is where authorities say they eventually caught up with Adam Leon, 31, after his 783-mile journey in the stolen Cessna 172 aircraft on Monday.
